Ingredients

• 1 cup Fine bulgur wheat
• 1.5 cups Boiling water
• 1 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint, finely chopped
• 2 medium Tomatoes, diced

• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the bulgur wheat in a large, heatproof bowl.

Step 2

Pour the boiling water over the bulgur, stir, and cover the bowl with a plate or foil. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the water.

Step 3

Once the bulgur has absorbed the water, fluff it with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic until well blended.

Step 6

Add the cooked and cooled bulgur to the vegetable and herb mixture, and pour the dressing over the top.

Step 7

Toss everything gently to combine and ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Taste, and if desired, add freshly ground black pepper for extra flavor.

Step 9

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
